> In 2023, it's rude to return dictionaries. :) Why do you say that? I think you were partially kidding, but also half serious. What’s the issue with returning dictionaries, and why should we be returning dataclasses instead? Asking

It works when the free tier is usable, but highly limited. Then it effectively becomes a free trial, albeit with no time restriction. For example, if Evernote had limited the free tier to 99 notes and syncing with 2 devices. That’s usable e

Evernote’s files are `.enex` which is a variation of html. At least, they used to be. I haven’t checked recently, but this was the case for many years. Don’t know if they’ve changed anything recently.

Here’s one: a warehouse worker with HUD that guides picking and/or packing visually. The HUD could overlay SKU, product description, weight, volume, etc — directly onto the actual item in the storage rack.

Agreed. And it’s actually 90% of the site offline at this point. And many subreddits have said they’ll be private indefinitely, not just 2 days.

Your interpretation sounds reasonable until you consider the fact that Reddit led with the “shakedown” (to use your word). Here’s a shortened version of the exchange: Reddit: You will now pay us $20 million per year or we’re shutting you do

Can you elaborate on where the miscalculation was in the Apollo dev’s math? The numbers he posted seem to add up.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, have you ever tried developing DSLs in Racket? One of its explicit reasons for existence is to enable fast development of custom DSLs.

Your description of your work process sounds like descriptions I’ve read of language driven development. Could you expand on why this is so powerful for you? Not doubting it’s power, but I’m having a hard time understanding _why_ it’s so po

He is upset because they told him API pricing would be “fair and reasonable”. But when they announced pricing, it comes to ~$20 million per year for Apollo. He doesn’t make anything near that from Apollo. He isn’t opposed to paying for API

I often find that the top Stack Overflow answer doesn’t adequately answer my question, so it’s not faster for me. For example, sometimes the top answer is long and requires a few minutes of reading, sometimes there are corrections in the re

How long was the script you provided as a prompt (roughly how many LOC)? I’m curious because it seems like perhaps providing longer, detailed prompts (and then iterating) might be the best approach for getting coding help. Thoughts?

It doesn’t need to know about your specific code base if you have it write a function for the task you’re prompting it for. You can copy/paste the function into your code and run the function with arguments that are specific to your co

I agree completely. Additionally, people who hold this belief fail to realize that “I don’t want to work.” ACTUALLY means “I want others to work so I don’t have to.” For example, how are you going to eat? You are either going to grow, culti
